Direct care nurses and support staff thoughts and feelings about the reasons patients fall at a cancer center
This study is significant and relevant because there is little previous research addressing staff thoughts and feelings about why patients fall and what additional interventions they think can be implemented to prevent falls. Findings from this study may be helpful in developing and/or refining current fall policies. Existing research suggests unlicensed patient care providers often have minimal participation in postfall reviews. This study suggests they can provide insight into why patients fall. Additionally, both registered nurses and unlicensed providers describe barriers that often impede their ability to work as a te...

Review of disclosure and apology literature: Gaps and needs
AbstractA review of the literature related to the disclosure movement was conducted to find gaps and needs while identifying areas where needs are being met. There are several articles that address claims and other economic factors. Moreover, there are many papers that define barriers to disclosure with suggested workarounds. There is also a wealth of training content that teaches how to say “sorry.” However, gaps and needs were identified. The “gap list” was developed with a focus on concepts that are novel or not mentioned in the literature as well as issues in the disclosure movement that would benefit from grea...

Harnessing the power of medical malpractice data to improve patient care
AbstractIntelligence gleaned from medical malpractice cases helps health care institutions analyze their litigation practices, trend financial outcomes, and even identify clinical services needing attention. But when examined more deeply, medical malpractice data can also be a powerful patient safety tool by revealing clinical patterns that contribute to medical errors and by enabling leadership to more accurately plan investments in patient safety and risk management. This case study describes how one organization, UMass Memorial Health Care in Worcester, Massachusetts, harnesses its deeply coded medical malpractice data ...

Introduction of enterprise risk management in neonatal intensive care unit to reduce breast milk errors
AbstractPreterm infants born before 34 weeks gestation are unable to feed by mouth. Mothers of these preterm infants are thus asked to pump breast milk to be fed to infants through a nasogastric tube. Each mother's pumped breast milk must be carefully labelled and stored so that it is not fed to the wrong baby during the infants stay in the neonatal intensive care unit, which can range from days to months. All hospitals have strict policies and procedures in place to ensure infants are fed their mother's milk but still occasional errors are reported. We looked at the effect of introducing the enterprise risk management met...

Evaluating reimbursement of integrated support services using chronic care management (CCM) codes for treatment of hepatitis C among Medicare beneficiaries
AbstractThe New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) implemented Project INSPIRE, an integrated model of hepatitis C care coordination and telementoring services, from 2014 to 2017. We evaluated the use of chronic care management (CCM) codes to sustain the intervention. DOHMH data were collected as part of a Healthcare Innovation Award from the Centers for Medicare& Medicaid Services (CMS). A retrospective cohort medical billing study was conducted by assigning INSPIRE activities to procedure codes in both facility and nonfacility settings. Rates for procedures were extracted from the CMS's 2018 fee sc...
